Recently there was
a question about the evidence for routine VEs in labour. I thought Id
contribute this:
Forms of care unlikely to be beneficial
Frequent scheduled vaginal examinations in labor 31
Thought Id put this in as well. MM
Routine directed pushing during the second stage
Brenda,
It was Janet that wrote the original message. I jumped in when I read that
fairly shocking statement for an ob from your colleague :) Sorry for my
sarcasm but someone like you will understand! You're incredibly lucky to
have 2 good ob's to work with. Maybe I better rein in my sarcasm.
Dear all,
Epic coming up! Just a quick email to let you all know that
I am no longer doing the Australian midwife directory thanks to all
those who sent in their information. I have come up with several problems: disagreement,
very limited response and even an email from some rude
Kelly,
I hope you will reconsider a Midwife Directory. From a consumer's point of
view, it is extremely useful.
Four years ago I was pregnant with my third baby when the idea of home birth
came across my radar for the first time. With awareness of only very
mainstream sources I had a VERY
Joyous Birth has listings for private midwives as well as links to community
hb groups nationally. Due to the now dicey political nature of hb,
particularly in QLD, it's members only. So send women our way if they want
that info. It says on our website that we provide that info.
